Here's an excerpt of the interview:
"Meet Miranda Martinez, a Latina beauty who is an enterprising entrepreneur with oodles of enthusiasm and passion for the theatrical and culinary arts. She is an aspiring actress, a producer, and a raw vegan speaker, author, chef and superfood retailer.
Embracing a raw vegan lifestyle has proved to be a beneficial chose for Miranda, which she talks about in the interview. She also talks about who has influenced her on this journey, about loving her work at Bliss Raw Café, staple items you might find in her kitchen, her dream role as an actress, and much more.
Enjoy the interview!
Ingrid Weithers-Barati: We both delved into the raw vegan diet the same year, in 2007. Since that time, how has this diet affect your overall well-being and lifestyle?
Miranda Martinez: Becoming raw vegan has made an big difference for me! For the first time in my adult life I have been able to keep my ideal weight easily (lost over 60 lbs), I have increased energy and vitality, my skin looks amazing, my LDL cholesterol has stayed down, I have made great friends and have met amazing people. I am very happy I made the transition.
IWB: What was your eating history before going raw, and which junk food addition has raw food helped you overcome?
MM: I was a omnivore...BIG TIME! Before my transition to raw, I ate everything I wanted and, even though I had pretty much done every weight loss diet imaginable, I hadn't done any research about vegetarians or vegans. I was a food addict, period. I loved all kinds of different foods, but I had more challenges with breads, cheeses, chips and sweets."
